[attachment=o70751]I guess I know enough to know that I don't know enough. :confused: Here is one of me little ol' darlins who seem to be a bit under the weather (this camera is auto focus and I 'aint no photographer, sorry). :( Yesterday I transplaned the whole brood into #5 pots that the nursery kicked down when I bought the soil. Fox Farm's Ocean Forest. I saw it on the internet for like $21 for a 1cu. ft. bag. At the place I went it was $14.99 for 1.5 cu. ft. and they can't keep it on the shelvs. Anyhow, I got no clue as to what's causing this so wadda ya think? I got it narrowed down to either too much or not enough of something..lol, I just don't know what. We'll see what happens. Maybe it ate all the good shit out of the soil in the styro cup it was in, or maybe just the styrofoam cup. I might turn yellow too if my 42" ass was forced into some 32" levi's.:dance: The first pic is the only one that seems to show what I'm talking about.

how far are your lights from the top of the plants?

I dont mean to hijack your thread...here is what you have to look forward to with cfls.

Here's one for the WTF file. Thanks y'all for the input, the lights were about 2 inches above but this grow has been aborted. Check this out. My buddy, the dickhead whose plant these were cloned from, came by the day that I moved them from the prop. tray to the small pots (that incidentally, now that I think about it, he gave me 'cause they were not being used) and said he was having problems and was gonna lose his whole crop. He said he had to make more clones out of the rest of his plants but they were budding. Then I showed him the ones that came off of his other plant that to his surprise were doing well. Later that night he brought over another plant and begged me to help him get as many clones as we could from it. Keep in mind I 'aint no farmer and I 'aint never done this before and this is the same cocksucker that's spent the previous 3 weeks sayin' shit like "Don't get too bummed out when these all die because it won't work" or "You know they're gonna die. Everybody's first grow ends up that way. It's just paying your dues". WTF, I guess he forgot it was his idea in the first place. My bullshit detector must need new batteries or something. Anyhow, we harvested the little buds and got 25 cuttings to put in the JIFFY peat pellets and tray. When he split he took all the harvest to cure it since he knew the RIGHT way to do it. :rolleyes: As I was cleaning up I realized I had reached my personal bullshit limit. Ya know, like one more molecule of BS and I'm gonna twist off. That was a week ago and homeboy shows up today and says "I'm gonna sell all these big ones to this guy in the hills and that'll give us room to take another tray of clones from another plant". Now I was under the impression that I was going to keep some of these and clone them to keep a rotation going so I didn't have to buy anymore weed for the OL, like I've been saying from the start of this adventure, but when I heard that, it happened. I twisted right off. Just like an old head bolt. I said what about mine and the reply was there'll be 50 clones here, you can have 4 of them. I had decided that since I had purchased all the supplies (soil, peat, trays, Rootone, new sharp sissors, razor blades, alcohol) I was going to yank up every fucking plant and stuff 'em up his ass before I booted him out the door. But I decided it wasn't the plants that I was pissed off at so I carefully repotted the 10 big ones in the pots that he gave me, put them in a box, set the tray with 25 cuttings on top, walked outside, and set them on the seat of his truck. I wasn't really pissed but my feelings were hurt. Now the OL on the other hand, gets really pissed when someone does me dirty. Especially if theyre supposed our friend. By the time she was done unloading, she had called him about 16 kinds of motherfucker, told him not to call any phone she could even hear ringing, and if he came to the door when I wasn't here she'd answer it wth a baseball bat. I'm glad she's on my team. :dance: I went to one of the pain in the ass co-ops in Sac. and picked up some Romulan x Northern Lights seeds and some called Martha's Triumph :question: Don't know but we'll see. Hope I didn't get burned. I'll post another grow once I get some of these seeds started. Seeds started? WTF? Shit, I think I'm hooked. Damn this addictive personality. :o Thanks for endulging me and if this is not the right place to post this I apologize.:)

Fuck thAT. Dont ever involve anybody but yourself, and possibly your signifigant other.

^^^ exactly...

but i feel ya, i see where you are coming from, thinking that it was a "good" friend and all and that you did get the plants from this person originally....

instead of buying the seeds you should have just picked up some clones from the club.... does the sac club not sell clones?

The very first time I went there they had some but ever since, none. Every time I ask about clones I get the same response. "I don't know." So I figured I must not be the only one wanting them so I'll try to get a good mother from each strain that I got and do some cloning ( sounds like mad scientist shit don't it? ) ;) There is a place in Chico but its by appt. only and Chico's an hour away and I got a wierd ass work schedule and... (wah, wah, wah) lol. If you want something done it yourself. If you don't know how to do it, learn. I'm germinating some Romulan in JIFFY peat pellets. I thought about paper towels and saucers and warm dark cupboards but the JIFFY pellets were handy and I had them so we'll see what happens. This is day 2 and nothing is visible above ground but who knows what the future will bring. :thumbsup:

yeah i feel ya... good luck with the grow... and if you are ever in need of clones and want to take a little drive, the Oakland Club has them
